Course overview
This course provides instructions and step-by-step procedures for the new features of Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) 12c, with an emphasis on system administration features and changes. The course begins with an overview of the new features of Oracle BI 12c, Oracle BI system administration tasks, installation steps, the logical architecture, and the tools used to complete system administration tasks.
As the course progresses, you learn how to upgrade from Oracle BI 11g to Oracle BI 12c, use the baseline validation tool to validate upgrades and migrations between systems, and perform system management and life cycle operations. You also learn how to use command line utilities and scripts to stop and start Oracle BI components, manage metadata using Business Intelligence Archive (BAR) files, scale an Oracle BI deployment, and deploy Oracle BI for high availability.
